But is it REALLY a shock that a Republican who became governor of California is not denouncing the socialist tendencies so popular there?
Besides, I live in Massachusetts, we have enough of both to go around.
You suffer some but how would you like to see any hope for this state to ever get its stuff back together, short of a complete and total collapse which has only been forestalled and is inevitable, even with aRnie at the helm.
Not so many years ago this state had a chance to regain its sanity, all that is left now is the endless bashing by folks like you who seem to be quite complacent as to how this nation is moving left and with folks supposedly on the right help.
doesn't that concern you at all?
I'd be interested in some evidence for your assertion that "socialist tendencies" have broad popular appeal in California.
You forget history over the last 26 years in California, including electing RR to two terms as Governor and 2 as potus. The cost of living was reasonable in Ca. during that period of time. Now it is nearly impossible for young families to live in desirable areas near the coast. A new couple starting out with combined income of $100,000 a year can simply not afford to buy homes starting at $500,000 or more in the coastal towns and cities. And irresponsible governments are just making it worse. Calif. is referred to frequently here on FR as the part of the left coast, a very appropriate description.
